Summary: A Eurosceptic Labour Party might seem unthinkable. But the European Union is changing and so too should Labour’s attitude towards it, argues Labour MP Gisela Stuart. She reveals to presenter Edward Stourton that she now believes Britain would be better off outside the EU. Her party continues to maintain a pro-European face but, Edward Stourton learns, the Labour leadership is preparing to recalibrate its policy as the Europe of workers’ rights gives way to the Europe of austerity and fiscal federalism.
